Authentic Chilean Hot Dog

7:00pm, 20 February

Location:Communal Kitchen

The dish was first made in the 1920s in the fuentes de soda (soda fountains) of central Santiago. The completo was brought to Chile by Eduardo Bahamondes who had recently travelled to the United States on business. It was there that he first saw the “hot dog” which he decided to bring back to his home country. Once back in Chile, he then opened a restaurant in Santiago’s historic Centre called Quick Lunch Bahamondes where he began to introduce the Chilean people to the hot dog. As people didn’t like the original preparation, he added other ingredients like tomato or avocado, that eventually ends to be accepted by the public.
